I applied me Legacy epoxy and the last step was Tuesday, when I applied the second coat of clear. Twenty four hours later, yesterday, it was hard, and I was able to walk on it.

I’ve read “24 hours to walk on the floor”, and then it goes all over the board from there. I’ve read 3-4 days and I’ve also read “7 days to fully cure”, and hot care tire issues on fresh epoxy, etc. but I am not parking a car in my garage. And as humid as it is down here in Florida, I don’t know if that accelerates the drying / curing time or slows it down. I would think it speeds it up.

I want to move my cabinets into the garage on Saturday and maybe roll my motorcycles in there as well. That would be 4 days since date of last clear coat (tues). Am I over thinking this? Should I be ok? I can’t imagine a factory closing down for 7 days just to lay epoxy down.
Any thoughts?

Factory usually use an accelerated curing product. As they cant afford to shut down. You'll be fine though. I tell my customers 72 hours for a vehicle. I go in after 24 and start putting up cabinets, slatwall up. If a customer wants to put a fridge in right after, thats fine. I tell them ( or we do it) to carry the fridge and place it where its going to go. I've never moved one out to see if it left impressions in the epoxy....
